FAQ'S
_What is a color run? _A color run is fun, untimed event where participants are doused with colored powder at various stations along the route.
_What is the colored powder made out of?_ The colored powder is made out of high-quality cornstarch, dyes and baking soda. All of the powder is gluten free and does not contain dairy, nuts, wheat, soy or other common allergens.
_Will the dye stain my clothing?_ The colored powder washes out of most clothing. However, it can stain some materials. 100% cotton clothing is recommended and typical machine washing with stain remover removes the stains. It is recommended to remove excess powder from clothing before washing and/or applying water.
_How long will the event_ be? This is not a timed run, so the event will be as long as it takes you to run/walk one mile! Participants are encouraged to hang out and cheer on the other runners after they complete the course. The 6u Kids 100 Meter Run will begin at 11am. The event should be wrapped up by 11:30am.
_What should I wear/bring to the color__ run?_ A white t-shirt is recommended for maximum color impact; your shirt will have a fun tie-dye look by the end. If at all possible, wear old clothing/shoes that you don't mind getting colorful! Goggles or sunglasses are also a good idea to protect your eyes from the powder and a towel to wipe yourself down/ protect your car seats after the run is helpful.
